it is securely reattached.
To use the cargo cover, if equipped: 1. Pull the cover handle toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Latch the cover posts into the retaining sockets on the cargo area trim panels.
To return the cover to the retracted position: 1. Pull up on the cover handle to release the cover posts from the retaining sockets.
2. Let the cover move forward to the full retracted position. To remove the cover from a regular wheelbase model:

of the vehicle.
3. Swing the cover rearward and take it out of the vehicle.
To put the cover in the vehicle: 1. Make sure the cover slot in the holder faces rearward with the round surface facing down.
2. Then, hold the cover at an angle and place the cover end cap into the slot in the passenger side
trim panel.
3. Move the other end of the cover forward and hold it next to the driver's side trim panel slot.
4. Press the end caps in, to allow the cover to fit into the trim slot.
5. Pull lightly on the cover holder to make sure it is secure.
On extended wheelbase models there are two
cover positions. The slots furthest forward allow
the cover to be used if the third seat is removed or
folded down. The cover can be installed and
removed from either side.

Cruise Control
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction
can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery
roads.With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
turns off.
For vehicles with an Allison
®or Hydra‐Matic 6‐speed
automatic transmission, see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison Transmission) under Tow/Haul
Mode
on page 3‑34for an explanation of how cruise
control interacts with the Range Selection Mode,
tow/haul and grade braking systems.
For vehicles with the StabiliTrak
®system, if it begins to
limit wheel spin while the cruise control is being used,
the cruise control will automatically disengage. See
StabiliTrak
®Systemon page 5‑6. When road
conditions allow the cruise control to be safely used
again, it can be turned back on.

The cruise control light on the instrument panel cluster
comes on after the cruise control has been set to the
desired speed.
{WARNING:
If you leave your cruise control on when you are

more, press the +RES button on the steering wheel.
The vehicle goes back to the previous set speed and
stays there.

.Press and hold the +RES button on the steering
wheel until the desired speed is reached, then

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:
.Press and hold the SET–button on the steering
wheel until the desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.
.To slow down in very small amounts, press the
SET– button on the steering wheel briefly.
Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle slows
down to the previous set cruise speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you might have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle's speed.
